Premise

"It tells of a strange meeting during an air-raid, and of the few chance words responsible for sending Doctor John Courtney from all he once cherished to the oblivion of sun-drenched Rangoon. We read of a terrible misunderstanding that makes of a once proud woman an out- cast, and of the richly merited fate that overtakes Cedrick Gleeson, blackmailer and cheat; we meet eccentric but glamorous Delysia Rayner, rich and powerful, yet standing in the shadow of death; we see a great romance blossom amid the

tropical loveliness of a Burmese valley."{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17777484 |title=Advertising |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=32,431 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=6 December 1941 |accessdate=9 March 2024 |page=10 |via=National Library of Australia}}
